# FAQ **What is the Stable early access program?**\ The Stable early access program allows participants to deposit USDC on Ethereum into the dedicated pre-iUSDT vault ahead of Stable mainnet; when Stable is launched, users can withdraw to Stable via the authorized LayerZero bridge and receive iUSDT. **Are vault shares transferable? Will there be secondary markets?**\ pre-iUSDT vault shares are not transferable, and no secondary markets are planned. **What assets do users receive on Stable when withdrawing?**\ Users receive iUSDT on Stable. **Do I need to KYC before depositing into the program?**\ No, users may deposit into the program before completing KYC. However, they must complete KYC by the deadline for their deposit to be marked eligible. **What happens if I don't complete KYC by the deadline?**\ If you deposited into the program and do not complete KYC by the deadline, your total deposit amount will remain marked as non-KYC. This means your deposits will not be considered eligible for participation, and you may, at any point, redeem your shares back for your original deposit in USDC. **Are there any fees?**\ No performance, minting, withdrawal, or managements fees are collected on deposits in this program. Users may incur gas fees related to on-chain contract interactions related to minting and redemption. **How are roles and controls handled?**\ Role separation limits who can marks users as KYC (admin role), deploy funds (treasury role), and withdraw on behalf of users (authorized bridge). Contracts are non-upgradeable. **What if bridging is delayed or unavailable?**\ If bridging is unavailable, after 180 days the vault moves into permissionless recovery mode: KYC users redeem for a pro-rata share of USDT and any undeployed USDC in the KYC pool; non-KYC users redeem for USDC on Ethereum from the non-KYC pool. **Where can audits and security practices be reviewed?**\ See [**Audits & Security**](https://docs.hourglass.com/stable-early-access-program/audits-and-security) for the Zellic report, Olympix analysis, and ImmuneFi programs. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
